Does Honda Rancher have low range?
On DCT-equipped models, low-range sub-transmission effectively doubles the number of gears. A reverse-gear actuation mechanism for Electric Shift Rancher models makes shifting to reverse a one-lever, fully electronic operation that is quick, simple and easy for all hand sizes.
What kind of ATV is a Honda rancher?
More commonly known as the Rancher, this ATV falls into the mid-size category. It is larger and loaded with more features than entry-level quads, such as Honda’s own Recon or Suzuki’s Ozark, but not as capable or expensive as one of the full-size quads, like the Yamaha Grizzly or Kawasaki Brute Force.
When did the Honda rancher 4×4 come out?
We decided we wanted the bigger engine and the automatic transmission, but we didn’t need the GPS system, so we elected to test the Rancher AT 4X4 without GPScape. We took delivery of our red Rancher AT in February of 2004, and were immediately impressed with the fit and finish of the machine.
What kind of transmission does a Honda rancher have?
For those of us who are control freaks, Honda provides the Electronic Shift Program (ESP). Since the Rancher has a CVT, there are no actual gears, but the transmission does have five preset ratios which are controlled by thumb switches next to the left handgrip.
What are the controls on a Honda rancher?
All controls are easily within reach, and easy to operate with gloved hands. The right thumb controls the throttle, the selector for 2WD or 4WD, and the Auto/ESP transmission selector. The left thumb controls the headlights, high beams, starter, kill switch, and gear position (when in manual shift mode).
